JENN: Sooooo. Running! How is it? MOON: This week hasn’t been super exciting with scheduled workouts. Buuuut, there are some stories. JENN: Ooh, I love stories! MOON: So, there was a water tubing trip on Sunday. Long story short, we had a problem with the cars. You’re supposed to have one car at the starting point and one at the end (so you...

JENN: So how has the running been? MOON: Not too bad, how about you? JENN: Last week was actually surprisingly good. I wound up covering about 40 miles over the course of the week, which is 7 – 10 more than my average. Mind you, it helped that it was a no-ballet week. Ballet starts again today, so I doubt I’ll be...

MOON: Ooookay. Tell me about your runs! JENN: They have been relatively decent! HUGE factor: the air conditioning the gym finally kicked in. Air conditioning not on? Crazy humid, runs suck. Air conditioning on? WHEEEEEE I CAN RUN. MOON: Ha, I realized that too in the beginning of the week. Our air conditioner seems to be spotty. Sometimes on and glorious or...

JENN: How did your training go this week? MOON: Well, I ran every day! It was good. JENN: Awesome!I ran outside a bunch this week. I’m getting a LITTLE better at it, anyway. I’m not ready to let go of the treadmill just yet, but the outdoors is growing on me. I just hope I DON’T come to prefer running outside because that’ll...

MOON: I JUST RAN 3.5 MILES JENN: YEEEEEEEAH TELL ME ABOUT YOUR 3.5 MILES MOON: Well, generally uneventful. There were awkward repairmen in the gym all up on my treadmill while I was running. JENN: Oh, yes, that’s always a little weird. MOON: You’re probably thinking, “3.5… whoopee.” Buuuut, I haven’t run since my return from Israel. Yesterday I found myself really missing...

JENN: How was your extended weekend? Did you run at all? MOON: This is terrible, but for the second week in a row: noooo. This week has been a sick week… JENN: Oh no! If you’re feeling ill it’s probably better not to run, so it’s good that you’re taking precautions. Are matters improving? MOON: Yeah, yesterday was actually a pretty okay day...

JENN: Did you run at all this week? MOON: Hmm, I think another mile? The progress is rather slow over here… JENN: Hey, that’s one more mile than a lot of people manage! MOON: Yes, but about 25 less than I usually do… XD I have been hunting for half marathons for the late summer, though! JENN: Any prospects? MOON: Hmm, there was one...

MOON: How was your weekend? JENN: Crazy. I was tasked with taking care of my grandmother on Mother’s Day. I pulled up to the house to discover an ambulance in the driveway and a fire engine on the curb. Turns out she’d fallen, been incapacitated, and used her Life Alert. MOON: Oh, no! JENN: She repeatedly refused to go to the hospital, so...

JENN: Would you like to start us off with your Grand Impressions of Israel? MOON: A gorgeous land of geographic contrasts. JENN: I’m assuming you didn’t run for fear of startling all the stray cats. MOON: We had planned to run around Tel Aviv… But Tel Aviv happened at the end of the trip. After the desert and walking everywhere-all-the-time, running felt like overkill....

Just me again this week, folks. Moon has jetted off to Israel with her boyfriend and for some bizarre reason neglected to take me with her. But never fear – I have every intention of roping her into a solo post soon, lest you all go into Moon withdrawal. That’s all right, I have things to tell you anyway....
